There is a new twist to this: The effect can be remedied by using a shorter USB extension cable. So it is obvious that the crashes result from bad communication or bad reaction of the device due to insufficent power.
Question is: Is a misbehaveing USB device like something like bad hardware, that may trigger crashes, or do we see USB devices as unreliable devices we need to handle. The crash happend once while unplugging the WLAN stick while data was transfered. This is a clue that the same state may be provoked by unplugging of the device in an inconvenient moment, which is of course totally legal and should NOT crash the system. Should we go on here or should I file a new bug with a new description of the crashs's cause? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1419341 Title: Kernel crashes in rt2x00queue_get_entry+0x24 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1419341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
